A chip is definately not the only way of upgrading HP!!!
In the A3's, because the engine has so much potential i.e. 225bhp+, there are a number of possibilities the easiest being the chip tunning.
Chips for the A3 Turbo look to be generally around the 200Bhp and various torque gains 275Nm being the biggest i've seen.
Or you could change the ECU, Turbo, waste gate, exhaust etc. etc. in order to increase the power and torque output............but by far the easiest is the chip.
